	FORCES - THE EVIDENCE - The Congressional Research Service (CRS) Report on Secondhand Smoke
		Researchers have concluded (1) that many of the potentially harmful compounds in SS are also present in ETS, and (2) that these ETS contaminants are found above background levels in a wide range of indoor environments in which smoking occurs.
		Researchers calculated total daily exposure to nicotine in each indoor environment by multiplying the average nicotine concentration by duration of exposure and breathing rate.
		In order to estimate ETS lung cancer risk using cigarette equivalents researchers assume that there is a linear relationship between exposure (number of cigarettes smoked a day) and cancer risk that extends from the relatively intense exposures typical of active smoking down to the much lower exposures associated with passive smoking.

		Proposed enactment of þvoterþs time,þ through which broadcasters would provide six prime-time, 30-minute segments to each major party presidential candidate (and a lesser amount for minor parties) within 35 days of the general election, to be shown simultaneously by the major networks; the federal government was to reimburse broadcasters for 50% of the commercial rate.
		These issues are present particularly when contemplating free time in congressional elections, because of the existence of 211 media markets whose þareas of dominant influenceþ (ADI) have no resemblance to the political boundary lines of states and districts.
		Thus, broadcasters argue that they are already providing substantial public service at their own expense and that it is unfair to ask them to do substantially more.

		A separate study by the Congressional Budget Office found it will be difficult for the Pentagon to sustain current troop levels in Iraq and Afghanistan without rotating troops into the war zone more frequently and using more National Guard brigades.
		Both studies add more fodder to the increasing congressional and public unease about the Iraq war, even as President Bush and members of his administration this week stepped up their defense of the war on terror.
		The research service said the Pentagon will have to either increase the size of the Army, shift people from other missions, or further increase the pace of the troop rotations.

	The All Spin Zone / Iraq - Government Projection on the REAL Cost and Duration of War
		A new report by the Congressional Research Service is most enlightening, in terms of defining a real timeframe, the cost of the war, and lends support to the progressive theory that, while there indeed may eventually be a token drawdown in troop commitment, we're there for the long haul:
		The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service said in a report that through the current fiscal year ending Sept. 30, the government will have spent $437 billion on overseas military and foreign aid funding.
		This is a far cry from the predicted cakewalk to Baghdad, and prior Bush administration estimates of the cost of the war.

	NASA’S SPACE STATION PROGRAM:
		Program split into "phase 1" and "phase 2," with single keel of occupied base built in phase 1 and second keel delayed until phase 2; polar platform part of phase 1; co‑orbiting platform and solar dynamic power pushed into phase 2.
		In November, a new "Russian Alpha" design was announced including Russia as a partner. NASA said with Russian involvement, "Russian Alpha" would be ready 1 year sooner, cost $2 billion less (a figure GAO disputes), and have more scientific utility than the Sept. 7 Alpha version.
		NASA’s current estimate of program costs for FY1994‑2002 (assembly complete) is $17.4 billion real year dollars, not including launches or civil service salaries (adding those costs would raise it to $47.9 billion, using average shuttle costs). Monies spent prior to FY1993 ($11.4 billion) and operational costs for 10 years ($13 billion) are not included.
